Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that this is not a known adverse effect related to Diltiazem.
They could be related to low blood oxygen saturations or an electrolyte imbalance. Jerking could also be related to a neurological disorder including seizures or a stroke.
For this reason, If the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with his attending physician and performing some tests:

- blood oxygen saturations
- blood electrolytes
